    named range via indirect. How to reference a specific sheet

    Hi,


    the indirect is as powerful as confusing. I know how to reference a sheet when it is for example "sum(indirect...." but know I have a huge named_range formula which starts with indirect and when I activate sheet1 the named range does not work anymore...

    When I try to put "sheet2'! in front it doesnt work at all.

    indirect named.range different sheet.xlsb named_range "status1" is the important one and I want to use this range in sheet1 to select the stuff on sheet2

    Although your ADDRESS function will return the address of the desired cell, it doesn't return it with the worksheet name. In your example, the expression

    ADDRESS(sheet2!$L$2;sheet2!$M$2)

    returns "$H$4". To reference this address from Sheet1, it must be "Sheet2!$H$4". So change your formula to
